Stephen Keifer replied to Nick Bacon's discussion policy on patrons hitting on Guards?
"I like where Jeanne-Marie is going with her follow-up letter.  It has seemed to work in that situation.  I am concerned when that inappropriate behavior becomes sexual predatory behavior.  Do you have a stepped enforcement…"

Stephen Keifer replied to Lisa Virtue's discussion Algae growth in indoor pool

Stephen Keifer replied to Kristin Lam's discussion Sphagnum Moss Filtration???
"Sounds like you are a public pool.  If you are, I would check with the local or state health department to see if they will allow that.  I think there are only a couple states that are "testing it."  I don't think many…"

Stephen Keifer replied to Dave Putziger's discussion Breastfeeding In The Water
"I'm pretty sure you will be surprised.  The person writing the statement for the CDC promised to try to have something out this week.  Unfortunately this has encountered a lot of strong opinions and politics.  I appreciate…"

Stephen Keifer replied to AIsrEditor's discussion Is CYA Needed for Indoor Pools? MAHC Says No. What do you say?
"It might be because Kent wrote most of the AFO manual."

Stephen Keifer replied to John Woods's discussion Number of lifeguards per pools
"I would check with your legal counsel about allowing the swim coach, who is not an employee, serve as a required lifeguard.  Are you responsible for their rescue skills, first aid competency and physical conditioning?  Do they attend…"

Stephen Keifer replied to Sandy Lummer's discussion Ratio of Lifeguards to Pool Patrons
"In OR we have a ratio of 1 per 40 bathers.  We also do allow a lifeguarding plan using the 10/20 rules as a basis.  In most cases the pool is staffed in excess of what our rules require as a minimum. We turn the responsibility for…"
